New Delhi
There was a competition between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders at Arun Jaitley Stadium on 29 April. Where the Delhi team lost the second consecutive match at their home ground. Kolkata defeated him by 14 runs.
After this match, a video clip went viral on social media on Tuesday. Where a few moments after the match ended, Kuldeep Yadav, a spinner of Delhi Capitals, was seen slapping KKR batsman Rinku Singh on live TV twice.
The incident occurred when the Khiladi match of Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders stood for the post presentation. Kuldeep, Rinku and some other players are seen laughing after the match on viral on social media. But then suddenly leg -spinner Kuldeep slapped Rinku, once it felt that it is probably in a joke. But Rinku did not like it, he looked embarrassed and shocked to see this. After this, Kuldeep slapped him again. But this time Rinku appeared angry.
Since there is no audio in the clip, the reference behind Kuldeep’s actions has not been known. Nor did the commentators say anything about this incident during their analysis after the match. But on social media, fans were angry with Kuldeep. He called it his “worst behavior”, while some demanded the BCCI to ban him.
I remembered Sreesanth-Bhajji’s slapping
In the 2008 IPL, ‘Thapparkand’ was a popular incident between Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh. Then Harbhajan Singh slapped Sreesanth, after which Harbhajan Singh was banned for the entire season. In that season, Harbhajan Singh was playing for Mumbai Indians and Sreesanth for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings).
During a match, there was a debate on the ground between the two, which later reached the slap. Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth, which was captured on camera.
